President Obama drove the last nail into his Presidency. President Obama took the advice of the "principled left" - the loud, obnoxious, privileged, affluent, and villainous people who demand legislation on everything and do nothing good for any human person - from the womb to grave.
70% of the American people believe that the Cordoba Initiative triumphalist thumb in the eye of America is unethical ( should not be considered) and blasphemous.
Toad-eaters like Mayor Mike Bloomberg and the legion of Journolist hack writers and editors who greased President Obama's election with smarm think this is good,as do the Communists, Socialists and Anarchists whom President Obama traditionally protests too much - "They are not the folks I know" - believe this to be a wonderful thing. Giving America a hot-foot and a kick in the nuts is always a very Progressive hug-able moment.
Seven out of ten Americans -People of the Book ( Jews and Christians) and genuine Muslims, atheists, agnostics and the odd Wiccan believe that American values are not tested by a Wahabist Imam, whom Obama made legit with a State Department portfolio, and his Saudi bankers.
“This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government, is essential to who we are.” President Obama praising the Cordoba Initiative -the Mosque at Ground Zero.
Nonsequiturs abound!
Here is a balanced perspective from a Muslim -
I was born in pre-revolutionary Iran. My family led a largely secular existence -- I did not attend a religious school, I never wore a headscarf -- but for us, as for anyone there, Islam was part of our heritage, our culture, our entire lives. Though I have nothing but contempt for the fanaticism that propelled the terrorists to carry out their murderous attacks on Sept. 11, I still have great respect for the faith. Yet, I worry that the construction of the Cordoba House Islamic cultural center near the World Trade Center site would not promote tolerance or understanding; I fear it would become a symbol of victory for militant Muslims around the world.Neda Bolourchi whose mother was murdered by Islamist terrorists on 9/11.
President Obama, an Illinois back-bencher, is athe worst President in American History - white, black, Gay, Breeder, Male, Female, Catholic, Protestant, Jew, Muslim or Mason. Barack Obama has nailed down the absolute last place in history as an American President, for history.
This is a good thing, Americans, because, when that Mayflower Van pulls up to the White House in 2013, not only will President Obama be packed up with the linens and knick-knacks, but the principled left as well.
As soon as GE and the other corporate weasels understand that American anger has wallet consequences, the tone will change. Again mean spirited, abortion-happy, Hegelian totalitarians will be ignored or least giggled upon once again. The batteries will be removed from the megahorns; Praise be to God.
May the principled left enjoy the quiet of the very, very, very private life.
Sorry, not sure I see the angle here. Does having a mosque there make it MORE or LESS likely that Al Qaeda will attack that spot a second time?
ReplyDeleteDominick,
ReplyDeleteIf someone micturates on my shoes, I do not require a second visit - I do however, make my intentions very clear about such persons considering another such effort.
Guess I hadn't seen before where the founders of this mosque were convicted Al Qaeda. Thought that would have had them in prison. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteBut while a forceful response to 9/11 is important, it was hard for me to imagine a more forceful one than the current level of troop deployment to Afghanistan. Which is where the attacks were actually coordinated from.
But I still say the ongoing security of NY has importance. I just thought it gave a rib-tickling satisfaction to see the safety of the ground zero site boosted by a mosque--paid for by muslims themselves, no less!
And meanwhile all the ri-ra about it getting built there probably would lower nearby real estate in the neighbourhood. Meaning that if curches and synagogues really cared that much about it they could just build right next door even cheaper! Think about it--getting the muslims to pay top dollar for everyone else's security? Too precious! Just like one of them old "Clever Paddy" stories I'd hear as a kid.
But you know how that goes--if the U.N. ever found out it worked that way, Obama would get done for using the mosque as a 'human shield'.
And anyway, it seems those mosque sponsors are convicted Al Qaeda guys, so we should hear about them sent down river soon anyways, huh?
Dominick,
ReplyDeleteThat is one nuanced approach!
That might be the absolute best way for the President to spin this tale that seems now the nail in the coffin of his Administration.
He should have looked to you for advice on this issue, Pal!
